“I wasn’t going to post it on social media but then I thought some other stores maybe had come across these problems,” Stewart told Global News.

After posting photos of the window on her Facebook page, Stewart quickly received several positive comments from members of the LGBTQ2 community.

One post from Facebook user Wendy Marie read: “Horrible it happened but good to see all of the support for love. I am so fortunate to have had the love and support in my life, to have never felt like who I love is wrong…”

Since posting the photos online, Stewart says there has been an outpouring of support from members of the community, including employees of stores nearby, who volunteered to help her clean up.

“I have a seven-month-old daughter and I don’t want her to grow up in a world like that,” Stewart says. “I want her to grow up feeling loved and appreciated in her community so when I see things like that have happened to my local store, it’s heartbreaking.”
